I am here for Friends

About Me

hmmmm....so hard to write about oneself. My father always called me "the dreamer"....I am not sure it was meant as a compliment, but it was and is true. Born and raised in Chicago, I like to listen more than I speak, I don't like gossip nor drama, I love good wine and flowers, sex and fountain pens, knives and shoes and afternoons with nothing to do but read. I've recently gone back to school, following a dream to be an architecht...we shall see. I just know that I love it and I am happy....although humbled. (school is so hard, I have new respect for my kids).

My Interests

Life

I'd like to meet:

I only have time for interesting minds.

Music:

I love all types, depends on my mood of course. It's all on my Ipod...a wonderful gift filled with music.

Books:

My favorite author is Jonathan Carroll, he is amazing. If you have not read him, you are in for a wonderful treat. "Love in the Time of Cholera", and all Marquez (he is a master with short stories), Rilke, Joyce Graham, Robertson Davies, Nabokov, Helprin, Milan Kundera.....I could go on and on. Huge sigh...my library says it all. Reading to me is the greatest source of pleasure.

Heroes:

To quote Emerson...."Every hero becomes a bore at last."
